Advice needed please. Can anyone tell me if I give the RAM memory cards from my old PC to someone else can they access any of the files I had on my computer.?

I was all set to pass some cards on to someone but a friend told me that they may be able to access my info.l

As pete has just commented, I think your friend must be away with the fairies - rest easy, be at ease, feel no threat to home land security....give them away with your blessing and wish them well in their new home :-)

RAM stands for random access memory, that means your card randomly accesses your computer and takes information. This could be anything from your credit card details to your porno stash.

Have a nice day!

That's evil man !

But bloody funny ! :P

In answer to the original question your mate is not correct (nor is Alfonse ! :O ).It is safe to give him RAM from your PC,it does not retain any personal information from the system it was removed from.
